§2742-A. Extension of coverage for dependent children

Notwithstanding section 2703, subsection 3, an individual health insurance policy
that provides coverage for a dependent child at certain ages only if the child is
a student must continue that coverage if the child is unable to remain enrolled in
school on a full-time basis due to a mental or physical illness or an accidental injury.
This coverage may be terminated at the age at which coverage for students terminates
under the terms of the policy. An insurer may require, as a condition of eligibility
for continued coverage in accordance with this section, that the student provide written
documentation from a health care provider and the student's school that the student
is no longer enrolled in school on a full-time basis due to a mental or physical illness
or accidental injury. [2005, c. 532, §1 (NEW).]
